Abstract:

This book charts the connections between the language of journalism in 
England and its social impact on audiences and social and political debates 
from the first emergence of periodical publications in the seventeeth century 
to the present day. It extends work done on the language of the media to 
include an historical perspective, adding to wider contemporary debates about 
the social impact of the media. 

It draws upon the field of historical pragmatics, while retaining a concentration 
on the development of a particular form of media language, the newspaper, 
and its role in refracting and contributing to social developments.  Dialogue is 
created between sociolinguistics and journalism studies. It is ideally suited to 
advanced students in these areas and in linguistics and media studies in 
general.

"Conboy provides a fresh and lively account of the emergence of early 
English newspapers and their development through the centuries. In this 
important new book, he unravels the fascinating story of how newspapers 
helped to shape and were shaped by social, political and historical events."
-Andreas H. Jucker, Professor of English linguistics, University of Zurich, 
Switzerland
